Not only does your automatic sensor data make your weather forecast more accurate, but we also incorporate user-reported weather conditions to train and correct our models. Our forecast accuracy improves as more users join!

Note: Temperature forecasts are for North America only right now. We will be adding more locations as users request them. Send us an email to let us know you're interested! software@cumulonimbus.ca.

Review from Daniel McCloskey

Hopefully will help out one day. This program doesn't seem to be using much battery or other resources to a point that it's noticeable. I'd like to see more of how the data is implemented in weather predictions etc.. I'm surprised that this data isn't already taken without our knowledge by Google or the government. Ehh who cares? Still, I love the science.

Nice, does need a good update. Great for getting a better idea of knowing the weather with a neighbor who is helping you monitor it. The only things that needs attention are; the location is miles off from my actual coordinates, the temperature it shows, is 8 hours old, and the widget as it is always reading "no data". With this app, the weather data transmitted to you, the forecasters can inform a more accurate picture of what the weather will be in our areas. 😀👍 It also lets me know when the fish 🐟 are biting 🐟.

Cool app, But pretty useless outside the US. Now has a persistent banner for a beta app not available in my county :/ I like the app, but the only feature I can use is the Pressure Graph thats stored. Not many people in my city report the weather and they've now removed the pressure tags from other peoples phones which was at least interesting to look at, so my map is bare most of the day.

Doesn't work on custom roms Worked fine on stock roms on this Galaxy S3, now on CM13 (and since CM11) the program claims it has no barometer despite the fact other apps can display information from it.

Crashes fixed Update is good, no more crashes! Sunshine now available on the Play Store, worth a look.

No issues with the app. Latest version fixes all issues I've had. Happy to contribute to the greater good.

Getting worse I liked earlier versions better. You used to be able to view other users' pressure obs in the map, but now you can't. I also don't like how I can no longer view text data of my own pressure obs unless I export. Not worth the effort for something so simple.

I have arthritis and this is a great tool to help me understand how the pressure causes pain. It's definitely better in Corpus Christi Texas than Oklahoma! Just wanted to update that the temperature is not accurate. It's 33 here but showing 61 in Glenpool Oklahoma on the map & 45 in other areas around us. Therefore I downgraded my rating to 4. Fix the glitch & I'll go back to 5.

Was a work in progress, now it... has regressed to an almost worthless app! I had had such high hopes. I can't see anyone's data on the map (inc mine), and either no one is submitting weather conditions anymore or they aren't visible. This could be a case of mass exodus. Having only my own baro. pressure reading is almost pointless, especially since it wavers drastically as well as sometimes showing it altitude adjusted then jumping back to the raw values. If I could see neighbor values, I could see the shift in pressures by area. Too bad.

Pretty Good I live in a hilly area next to the California Central Valley. I can use the changing values graphing to track when I came and went from home. Cool. Not so cool is that the altitude is almost never within one hundred feet of accuracy. I am at 1225' now and it showed about 620', which is typical. Wouldn't be good accuracy for, let's say, an aircraft altimeter based on barometric pressure. Update on new version...great altitude feature disappeared. Disappointing.

Don't Need Temperatures This is a useless feature as all in my area say it's 61 when it's close to 40 as I write this. If this feature is necessary for some reason, please give us a toggle to turn it off. Previous version showed pressures on the map ..that what this app is about. I'll keep it running to support research, but otherwise there isn't much point to look at a map with bad information on it.

Very little works My pressure shows in the upper left, but there's no data being acquired and plotted. The widget does not update pressure and it no longer opens the app when you tap on it. Temperature on map is useless because you're seeing in-pocket temperatures!

You and Me and the Weather Make Three Pressure tracking is cool. Especially when it makes me think of Queen AND Vanilla Ice. Additionally, the ineffably superlative aspect of this app is that I can look outside and tap in what my section of the natural world is doing, and others in the less natural parts of my world can make note of the real world and adjust their circumstances accordingly. Tap, tap, tap...it's raining men. Tap, tap, tap... I'm as cold as ice. Maybe you get the picture, but you probably don't unless you are trying it out.

It's a really cool service, but the graph is the absolute worst of all pressure apps. I want to be able to look at a neat graph of my phone's pressure sensor over time, AND participate in this cool pressurenet service, in one app! Instead all I get is a buggy scatter dot plot with no options. I mean really, this is the kind of data where you should be putting LINES between the scatter dots.

Give back graph! I loved this app. I used it to track drops in the pressure. I suffer from migraines and this app helped me track how the drop related to bringing them on. When it updated I lost the ability to see the graph by hour and weeks which really sucks.

Hi Andrew, thanks for the report. I've fixed a bug (also reported by other users) and have shipped a new version (5.1.6). Thanks for your help.

Just as soon as I found this app it seems I lost it. Meaning it doesn't work anymore. I get the alerts, but the time ant temp haven't changed in over a week even though I uninstalled and reinstalled. Help.

No option for pressure in map Always liked the app but I did prefer the pressure overlay on the map rather than the temperature one since that was the main reason for me to use this app. Please give me an option to switch to that view by default. Would also be cool if you could integrate barometric lines that interpolate borders of hi/lo pressure areas similar to an elevation map

Decent app I like the idea. Too bad the alerts and forecast features aren't available in my region. Nor are the temperatures (as seen in screenshots) available to me in the Netherlands, so the map is less useful for me. Also the play button doesn't show the reports anymore either.

Great trends information Pressure drop alerts for pending severe weather would be a great addition. Edit/Reply: Thank you for the response! Configuring the sensitivity of the pressure drop alerts would be great for the hard core wx nerds. :-)

Hi Matthew, thanks for the feedback! We do have pressure drop alerts (you can enable them in Settings) but they are not yet tied to pending severe weather. Any rapid shift in pressure tendency will issue an alert - sometime this will be a big storm, but it might also just be a bit of rain. Thanks!
